IMPROVEMENT IN FENCE.

*who-*- Thelschedule referred to in these LettermPatehu and making pax-t of the same.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, J oHN'L. WELLINGTON, of Danslville, in the county of Steuben, and State of New York, have in vented certain new and useful Improvements in Fence; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings, making part of this specification, and to the Aletters of reference marked thereon, like letters indicating like parts wherever lthey occur.

To enable others skilled in the art 'to construct and use my invention, I will proceed-to describe it.

My invention relates to fences; and consists in a novel manner of constructing and arranging a portable fence, as hereinafter described.

In the drawings- Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved fence, and

Figure 2, a perspective view of Aone of the stationary posts to which the panels or sections of the fence are attached.

In building my fence, I first construct panels ,or see# tions, A, by taking two bars, a, to serve as end pieces, boards b, allowing the ends of the rails to project slightl y beyond the bars, as shown at i, fig. 1. l

Across eac-h end of the panel, over the ends of the 'rails b, I nail a strip' or board, c, of equal length with the bars a, causing its outer side or edge to come flush with the ends of the rails, as shown in iig. 1.

Along on the upper side or edge of the panel, I nail a board, d, of the full length of the panel, and of a width equal to or greater than the width of the top ofthe posts.

I next provide posts B, having a series of projections, f, on their'front side, and secure these posts in the ground, at a distance apart equal to the distance, from outside to outside, of the end bars a of the sections A.

I then take one of the sections or panels A, and set it between two adjoining posts'B, allowing the project-v ing ends of the board d to rest on top of the posts,-

and the ends of the rails b to fit between the projections f on the front of the posts, as clearly shown in 1. gThrough the posts B, I make holes h, in line with the holes e ofthe panels, and into these holes, through the bars a and posts B, I pass pins g, thus locking the panels securely in position, as shown in iig. l.

Each pin g serves to secure the ladjacent ends of two panels, as shown.

The projections support the panels in their proper positions, and relieve the pins g from the great stra-in,

which would prevent their being readily inserted or` withdrawn.

When it is desired to remove one of the panels, the pins g, at its/ ends, are withdrawn sufficiently to release the bars a., when the panel may be lifted from its place.

. By thisconstruction, I produceia light, strong, and

ornamental fence, suitable for either city or farm-use, and that may be readily and easily removed, when desired, and quickly set up again, when needed.'

Having thus described my invention,

What I claim, is-

`A portable fence, consisting of the panels A, having rails b, front strips c, top pieces d, and bars or ruprights a, provided with holes c and posts B, provided with projections f and holes h, constructed and arranged as herein described, so that the panels maybe attached or detached from the posts by pins g,`as set forth.
